Bondage? Corruption? Cop Killer was also released under the titles “Order of Death” and “Corrupt”. Punk Rock’s own Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols takes on Harvey Keitel. In this masterpiece of forgotten trash cinema. This may be pushing it on making it in the Grindhouses being released in the early 80’s, but the same quality and perfection is here. Cop Killer is a story that leaves me satisfied. We start off with a string of killings, cop killings, and Lt. Fred O’connor (Harvey Keitel) our main character.
Lt. O’Connor is a corrupt cop who gets involved with Leo, a young rich brat (John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten) who is a suspect in the murders.
O’Connor decides to take things into his own hands and takes Leo hostage. He is kept tied up in the bathroom and tortured. There are some great scenes in this with Harvey Keitel and Johnny Rotten. Truly worth the time watching. O’Connor finally decides to let Leo go.
Letting Leo go turns out to be a mistake when he walks back in to his life with dirt. Leo Returns to Ruin O’Connor’s life and play a great game of cat and mouse with him.If you decide to see a movie this weekend, I strongly recommend staying away from the piles of redundant stuff Hollywood is churning out, and give this classic a chance. You won’t regret it.
